《LOVENEMIES [END]》9 - Pergi ke Universitas
Advertisement
Bae Sooji lulus di Universitas Negeri Korea yang ada di Seoul. UNK termasuk ke dalam lima universitas negeri terbaik di negara itu. Tingkat kesulitan ujian masuk UNK pun juga cukup tinggi.
Sooji berhasil masuk di UNK dengan skor minimum. Namun, nilainya terlalu rendah untuk jurusan yang ia lamar. Maka dari itu dia akhirnya masuk ke ilmu kedokteran hewan.
Baru pada saat itulah Sooji mengetahui bahwa seseorang sebenarnya bisa mengambil jurusan ilmu kedokteran hewan di universitas.
Kepala Sekolah Bae sedikit khawatir. "Tidakkah ilmu kedokteran hewan melibatkan stimulasi menyusui induk babi atau sesuatu seperti itu? Apa kau akan berakhir di peternakan babi yang merangsang ibu babi untuk menyusui di masa depan? Itu tidak mungkin terjadi. Hanya membayangkannya saja sudah membuat kepala ayah sakit. Belajarlah dengan baik agar nilai akademikmu bagus agar kau bisa berpindah jurusan."
Sooji tidak merasa bahwa jalur akademik itu lebih baik dari ilmu kedokteran hewan.
Namun, Sooji tetap bahagia. Dia sempat gelisah sejenak sebelum akhrinya kembali ke sikapnya yang biasa saja, berusaha menikmati sisa liburan musim panasnya sebelum akhirnya ia harus mengangkut kopernya dan dengan senang hati pergi ke universitasnya.
Memangnya kenapa kalau dia mengambil jurusan ilmu kedokteran hewan? Dengan gelar sarjana dari universitas bergengsi seperti UNK, hal itu masih menjadi sesuatu yang bisa dibanggakan.
Kepala Sekolah Bae sedikit khawatir dan akhirnya memutuskan untuk mengantarkan putrinya ke universitasnya. Mereka memutuskan untuk naik kereta dari Gwangju ke Seoul.
Teman sekelas sekolah menengah atas Bae Sooji, Kim Jongin, juga ikut.
Kim Jongin dan Bae Sooji adalah teman sekelas selama tiga tahun. Pria berkulit gelap itu pada dasarnya adalah pesuruh Sooji dan biasanya ia akan memanggil gadis itu dengan sebutan "Bos". Namun, dia tidak berani berperilaku begitu ceroboh di depan ayah Sooji. Dia takut bosnya akan dihajar oleh ayah bosnya.
Karena itu, dia hanya bisa memanggil Sooji dengan namanya. Tidak terbiasa dengan hal ini, satu kata "Sooji" tampak memutar mulut Jongin dengan tidak nyaman setiap kali dia menyebut nama gadis itu.

Kepala Sekolah Bae merasa ada yang salah dengan pria itu. Dia tampak gelisah tanpa henti. Apakah mungkin pria itu adalah salah satu dari orang-orang yang berniat mengejar putrinya yang berharga? Memikirkannya saja sudah membuat hati Kepala Sekolah Bae menghangat. Memangnya siapa yang bisa menolak pesona putri semata wayangnya?
Kepala Sekolah Bae kemudian mulai dengan santai berbagi petualangan masa mudanya: bagaimana dia biasa berlatih tinju dan lain sebagainya. Dia juga bercerita saat dimana ia mengunjungi keluarga istrinya dan tidak membutuhkan pisau untuk membantu mereka menyembelih ayam. Leher ayam patah hanya dengan satu putaran dari jari-jari besarnya.
Jongin yang mendengarkan di samping Sooji sangat khawatir. Dia mulai gagap setiap kali berbicara.
Sooji sedang duduk di dekat jendela dengan satu tangan disandarkan di bawah dagunya. Kereta api yang mereka naiki berjalan terlalu cepat. Melihat pemandangan yang melaju kencang, gadis cantik itu merasa sedikit pusing. Dia meregangkan lehernya dan kemudian berkata,"Membosankan sekali. Kim Jongin, kenapa kau tidak mengganti jurusanmu?"
Jongin tertegun sejenak. "Mengganti, mengganti apa?"
"Pindah ke ilmu kedokteran hewan. Akan sangat membosankan jika aku sendirian."
Mendengar kata-katanya, Kepala Sekolah Bae yang duduk di antara mereka sontak memukul kepala Sooji dengan pelan. "Dia berhasil masuk ke sekolah kedokteran dan kau ingin dia pindah ke ilmu kedokteran hewan? Jangan konyol."
"Apa yang salah dengan menjadi dokter hewan? Baik dokter yang merawat manusia maupun dokter hewan sama-sama merawat yang sakit. Tidak peduli itu manusia atau babi, kedua profesi itu sama-sama menyelamatkan jiwa. Terlebih lagi, lihatlah bagaimana berita selalu melaporkan bahwa beberapa dokter dipukuli saat menjalankan tugasnya. Pernahkah ayah mendengar tentang dokter hewan dipukuli oleh seekor babi saat merawat mereka?"
Kepala Sekolah Bae tercengang melihat betapa masuk akal logika Sooji. Pria paruh baya itu sejenak tidak bisa memikirkan bantahan yang baik dan hanya menggelengkan kepalanya. "Dasar anak nakal!"
Sooji merasa sedikit jengkel dan sedih. Sambil berbaring di meja lipat kecil di depannya, dia mengerutkan bibirnya dan dengan lembut berkata,"Aku hanya takut kalau aku akan kehilangan seorang teman lagi."

Kepala Sekolah Bae cukup terkejut mendengar penuturan Sooji.
"Bos... Maksudku, Sooji..." Jongin membuka suara.
Kepala Sekolah Bae meliriknya dengan perasaan tidak puas. "Apa kau baru saja mengatakan bahwa putriku adalah orang yang penyuruh? Kenapa kau memanggilnya seperti itu?
"Ah? Tidak tidak, tidak, yang kumaksud adalah... Sooji, aku sudah melihat peta. Bangunan sains pertanian tidak jauh dari gedung sains medis. Kita masih bisa pergi makan dan belajar bersama."
"Hm, baiklah." Masih terbaring di meja lipat, Sooji mengangguk.
Dari Gwangju ke Seoul, memakan waktu hampir tiga jam dengan kereta api kecepatan tinggi. Kepala Sekolah Bae menemani kedua anak itu dan akan menetap di asrama mereka. Mereka kemudian makan malam bersama di kantin UNK sebelum Kepala Sekolah Bae bersiap untuk kembali pulang ke Gwangju dengan kereta malam.
Sooji ingin mengantar ayahnya ke stasiun kereta tetapi ayahnya bersikeras menolak.
Saat berpisah di gerbang sekolah, Kepala Sekolah Bae sekali lagi mengingatkan putrinya,"Ingatlah untuk belajar dengan baik sehingga kau dapat memenuhi syarat untuk studi pascasarjana. Akan lebih baik jika kau dapat melanjutkan studimu untuk mendapatkan gelar doktor. Tidak masalah bahkan jika kau perlu pergi ke luar negeri. Jangan khawatir, keluarga kita mampu membiayaimu. Saat ini, persyaratan minimum untuk mengajar di sebuah universitas adalah PhD." Dia masih fokus pada gadis itu agar gadis itu mengambil rute akademik.
"Ayah, aku merasa sepertinya ayah terus-menerus mengomel," keluh Sooji akhirnya.
Kepala Sekolah Bae berbalik dan diam-diam menghela napas di dalam hatinya.
"Itu karena ayahmu sudah tua sekarang," batinnya.

Old synopsis "Hi, my name is Alexis," I say into the camera, as I attempt to calm my nerves."And I'm Sab," I hear my best friend add from beside me. It's good to have her there, it's been far too long."I'm trying to focus," I tell Sab as I look into the camera. Will anyone even watch this?"What, just cause I didn't get sent to another world, where magic and dragons are real, I don't get to be a part of this?" she questions me. I can hear the hurt in her voice. I wish she'd been there. Things might have been... different. I can't believe I thought it was a game. If it had been, she'd have been the better choice."I said I was sorry. It's not like I knew I was going to be kidnapped by the system," I lamely apologize. She deserves more, but this is important."Coming soon, to an earth near you," she might be making light, but I can hear the fear in her voice."It's not funny Sab. It really is coming," I can't help but reply to her words, even though I know she didn't mean it."Come on Lexi, it's a little funny." she tries while chuckling nervously."Sigh. Look, can we just get back to telling them?" I ask, pointing at the laptop."Sure, but first you should show them some magic," Sab declares while waving her arms around."I told you. It's not that simple. I only showed you because you could tell it wasn't fake. They'd just think it was special effects," or come after me to try to lock me in a basement."Yeah, well they're not going to believe you anyway. It sounds pretty crazy, even to me. And I've seen what you can do," she proclaims. I didn't think it was that special, but she was super impressed by my magical abilities."Maybe, but I have to try. We don't have much time," I state as I stop the recording, before starting a new one."Hello, my name is Alexis," I pronounce, projecting as much confidence as I can at the little camera."Remember, the world ends on a Tuesday."
